A fugitive from Florida is awaiting extradition after he was captured in Dickinson County earlier this week.

The Herington Police Department says their office received a tip on Monday pointing them to a home in the 700 block of East Arnold Street. After a brief investigation, officials say they located 24-year-old Nathaniel Sweeney of Titusville, Florida inside the house’s basement. Officials say Sweeney had been on the run since April of 2018 after violating conditions of his probation. Police say his original charges are drug-related. Sweeney is currently in the Dickinson County jail without bond awaiting his return to Florida
